Between August 2014 and September 2015, Stephen Port murdered Gabriel Kovari (22), Daniel Whitworth (21) and 25-year-old Jack Taylor (right). Their bodies were found dumped in or near a graveyard close to Port’s house.

The BBC reports that Port met his victims on dating websites and Grindr. He had denied 29 charges in total.

A dog walker who found Mr. Kovari’s body also found Daniel Whitworth dead in the same spot in the graveyard and “lying in the exact same position” three weeks later. A fake suicide note found in Mr. Whitworth’s hand purported to be a confession for Mr Kovari’s death.

Jack Taylor died hours after meeting with Port following a conversation on Grindr. The two men were captured meeting on CCTV on September 13. The pair then walked together to Mr. Port’s flat. Mr. Taylor’s body was found by a refuse collector with a needle and syringe in his pocket.

According to The Guardian, Port was convicted of 16 offences against nine out of 12 alleged victims, including the three murders. A verdict has yet to be reached on a number of other charges including the alleged murder of 23-year-old Anthony Walgate who was found dead outside Port’s flat in June 2014.
